🥉 A BRONZE MEDAL DELIVERY FOR TOMMY! 🥋👏

A lovely moment at training last night as Tommy was finally presented with his bronze medal from last month’s Global Taekwondo International - GTI Junior Open! 🥉

Tommy had to leave the competition before the medals were awarded, so a huge thank you to Mr Newman, who very kindly dropped it in for him so we could make sure it reached its rightful owner. ❤️

We’re really proud of you, Tommy — a well-deserved medal and another great achievement to add to the collection! 👊🥋

Well done, Tommy! 🥉👏

🥋 EVERY CLASS COUNTS – EVEN IN THE SUMMER! ☀️

We know the summer holidays change everyone’s routine. There are holidays, days out, family plans, work commitments and plenty of other things competing for your time.

But whether you’re 4 or 64, if you’re around, keep training! 💪

Regular Taekwon-Do classes help us all to:

🥋 Keep techniques and patterns fresh – time away can make things surprisingly easy to forget!

💪 Maintain fitness, strength and flexibility

🧠 Keep focus, confidence and routine

🎯 Keep progressing towards your next goal or grading

👊 Stay connected with your instructors and training partners

⭐ Benefit from quieter summer classes – smaller classes can often mean more individual coaching and time to work on the things you personally need to improve.

For our younger students, keeping some routine through the holidays can be really valuable.

For our teenagers and adults, it’s a great opportunity to keep momentum going, work on individual goals and avoid having to find that fitness again in September!

You don’t have to be perfect. You don’t have to make every single session.

But every class you do make counts.

So, if you’re not away… grab your dobok and we’ll see you in the dojang! 🥋
